Today, Gulalai lives in a pink two-story house in Southern California, on a street of stucco homes on the outskirts of Los Angeles. How he managed to land in the United States remains murky. Afghan officials and former Gulalai colleagues said that his U.S. connections - and mounting concern about his safety - account for his extraordinary accommodation. But CIA officials said the agency played no role in bringing Gulalai into the country. Officials at the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security would not comment on his relocation or immigration status, citing privacy restrictions. Gulalai and members of his family declined repeated inquiries from The Washington Post.

Yeah, I believe the CIA on that one as far as I can throw Keith Alexander's ego. Here's what the folks can talk about with their new neighbor at the next PTA meeting.

Gulalai was "personally involved in conducting beatings amounting to torture, in detaining suspects illegally and arbitrarily and in deliberately and systematically evading detention monitoring," the memo said. It cited unverified allegations of "disappearances" as well as testimony of "an extra-judicial killing and cover-up [that] seems very credible." Gulalai's methods "included beating with a stick to the point of drawing blood, sleep deprivation for as long as thirteen days, protracted periods fastened with handcuffs and chains and suspension from the ceiling," the memo stated. The harshest treatment was reserved for Gulalai's "personal prisoners," those suspected of being involved in attacks against his family or clan. "They were held in underground cells, including in the cellars of the Investigation Directorate main offices," the memo said...The problem was particularly acute at five sites, including Kandahar, where two-thirds of the prisoners interviewed said they were "systemically tortured." Many were beaten with cables, forced to endure electric shock to the testicles, or handcuffed in excruciating positions for days at a time. One detainee "reported that an NDS official removed his toenail with a knife."

And, of course, if there is any attempt to haul this sociopath off to The Hague, there will be several earnest columns written about how unfair it is because of what "we" asked him to do, and about abandoning allies, and so on. We are all complicit accessories before and after the fact. C-Plus Augustus made us that way.
